Fig Collection 2016

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share my fig collection and show some of the cuttings I rooted over the winter. Big thanks to everyone who helped fulfill my wish list last winter.   Hope everyone's having a productive year! ~ Becky

What's your secret to keeping them green and growing in this hot year?

Becky, good job!! Your fig trees look happy! I also see you upcycle...using those plastic gallon water bottles is a great way to repurpose! Nice!!!

Pino,
I use Neptune's harvest fish and seaweed emulsion weekly, they love the stuff.  I also added some compost, bat guano and rock dust in the soil when I up potted this summer. Mostly I water once a day, every day- its been so hot they just use so much water:). I also have been messing around with Tiger Bloom this summer for a complete fertilizer that's heavy on the phosphorous for fruiting.

Thanks! I love the handles on the milk jugs, plus its easy to see when its time to up-pot.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I don't post much and I am trying to be better about it since I am on the forum daily.
